Routedetails

Should you accept our proposition, you’re in for a ride that passes ancient churches, rustic farm estates, charming olive groves and quaint vineyards. Starting from Lucca’s Santa Maria Gate, the route crosses the Plain of Lucca before winding partway up the Pizzorne foothills or the mountainous area of the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines.

From the villages of Matraia, Valgiano and San Pietro in Marcigliano, you’ll easily point out Montecarlo, Monte Serra and Lucca in the distance. Whether you’re a #newbie,  a recreational e-biker or a racer with palmarès, this loop makes folks happy — just like clockwork.
